Is this the work of the beast of Stroud?

Experts fear a big cat could be on the loose in Gloucestershire after dog walkers stumbled across the mutilated carcass of a roe deer on National Trust land last week. The injuries to the neck of the deer and the way the carcass, which was found at Woodchester Park near Stroud, had been consumed are thought to be highly indicative of big cat activity. Experts have taken DNA samples from the remains of the deer to see whether a big cat, such as a puma or panther, could have killed it.

Big cat expert Rick Minter, who has visited the site of the find at the park, said: 'It is very helpful to have this forensic study of the deer carcass. 'The consistent feedback I receive from people about possible big cats is that the animals should be studied, so we can learn about the subject. 'Studying likely evidence such as this will help us become more informed. 'Local people who watched the carcass being examined appreciated that this was being studied in a responsible manner and that they are to be kept closely informed about the matter through their local newsletter and a forthcoming meeting.'
